Settings for Org Browser - which folder to use to retrieve metadata

[tmvillain13]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm working with several different Salesforce Orgs. These are not different sandboxes, but completely different Production Orgs.

In my Visual Studio I have 3 different folders with SFDX projects.

When I try to retrieve meta data with a help of the Org Browser, it is always uses first SFDX project to put meta data into.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have a setting and / or control (on the right click on the Org Browser) with a list of projects. And ability to pick a project, where meta data will be downloaded.

Hi @tmvillain13 thanks for opening this issue. This is one of the things we'll be working on and you should see it added to our roadmap soon.

For now, there is a way of accomplishing this but it's not ideal since it requires constant configuration changes. The Org Browser feature respects the packageDirectories configuration in your project's sfdx-project.json file. This means that the metadata will always be retrieved to the path you've set as being the default one for your project. One caveat is that updating the default directory takes a few seconds because of some caching involved. We'll be taking care of all of this once we add the functionality to the Org Browser itself.
